Channel your inner flower child with this pumpkin adorned with pressed blooms. To achieve this whimsical look, use a paintbrush to apply a coat of decoupage glue to a real or faux pumpkin.

After painting your faux pumpkins with chalky paint, coat each pumpkin with adhesive and press on a metallic foil sheet for the chicest .
Go For Gold
Floral Monogram Pumpkins
To start, draw thick block letters on each pumpkin and outline them with painter’s tape. Then tape flower stencils inside the letters and use a foam stippler to dab paint onto the pumpkin to fill in the stencil. Only remove the tape once the paint is dry.
Rad in Plaid Pumpkins
Fall means there’s plaid just about everywhere, and that includes your pumpkins! Get yourself some orange and white pumpkins and use duct tape to paint on the cozy designs.
Glitz Pumpkin
Give faux pumpkins a glamorous makeover with gold, silver and copper leaf. They’ll add just the right amount of sparkle to a fall display or Thanksgiving centerpiece.
Get Out Your Paint
Painting your pumpkins will surely add a personal touch to your home’s décor. If you aren’t super creative or don’t feel confident in your ability to paint a nice design, try using a stencil. Painted pumpkins allow you to match the design style of your home, and are a fun activity to do to get the fall season started.
Cinderella’s carriage
Bibbidi bobbidi boo! With the right supplies and a little Halloween magic, you can make this carriage fit for a Disney princess. Attach apples at the base of an oval pumpkin with toothpicks to act as wheels and paint a door and windows on both sides. Use the gold paint to add detail to the wheels and door, tie a red bow on top, and the transformation is complete!
Tiffany pumpkin
This Tiffany pumpkin uses the famous jewelry store’s signature robin’s-egg blue to evoke the little blue box that we all swoon over. A super easy and elegant option, this look calls for Tiffany-blue spray paint, a faux or real pumpkin, and white satin ribbon.
Monogram pumpkin
It doesn’t get more classic than this monogram pumpkin decorating idea. Use a word processor program to create a monogram and print. Place a piece of transfer/graphite paper beneath the printed monogram and tape both to the pumpkin. Trace the monogram onto the pumpkin and fill it in with paint.
Transferware Pumpkins
Grab the Mod Podge. A simple trip to the color copier is all it takes to “transfer” your transferware collection to a pumpkin. Simply make a color copy of a your favorite plates and trays, then cut the paper into strips and adhere to a pumpkin or gourd with the Mod Podge.
Lace Embellished
This pretty pumpkin will look right at home on your holiday table or lining a kitchen shelf.
Make the pumpkin: Separate sections of lace trim or use flower appliqués and attach to pumpkins with hot-glue.
Silhouette Pumpkins
Photograph your subject from the side. Scale photo as needed, then cut out profile. Trace and cut profile from black craft paper. Using Mod Podge, adhere cutout to a white paper circle cut to fit interior of a black doily. Secure unit to pumpkin. Glue trim to edge of white paper.
Green Scene
We produced this pastoral idyll by photocopying toile fabric. To re-create the effect, begin by painting a faux pumpkin with two coats of flat acrylic paint, in a shade that matches the background of your fabric; let dry. Meanwhile, photocopy the fabric in color, making enough copies to completely cover your Funkin and resizing the pattern if desired (we shrunk this one by 25 percent). Cut out individual scenes from the toile, leaving about a quarter inch of white space around each. Using our easy découpage technique, cover the entire Funkin.
Burlap Ribbon
Tie on country charm with this rustic fabric. Secure a strip of narrow burlap ribbon to the top of the shell using hot-glue, then run ribbon along the side of the pumpkin and secure it to the bottom with glue. Repeat as desired. Twist ribbon to add two curled tendrils at the top. Secure with hot-glue. (Wired or coiled ribbon will hold its shape best.)
Decoupaged Pumpkin
This gourd gets its graphic appeal from Pictorial Webster’s—a volume filled with cool black-and-white illustrations. Choose your favorite drawings from the book (we used approximately 120 for a medium-size Funkin, or faux pumpkin), then photocopy them onto off-white cover stock paper. Next, carefully tear out each photo-copied image, leaving about half an inch of white space around it. (The rough edges will give your finished product added interest.) Using our découpage technique, cover an entire Funkin with the images, overlapping their edges as you work.
Fast Floral Pumpkin
Adhere temporary tattoos to your white pumpkin, as you would on skin. Join a ring of floral selects together for this botanical look.
Gold-Splattered
Go for the gold this Halloween—vibrant gourds look even more striking with a bit of shimmer.
Sweater Pumpkins
Forego real or plastic pumpkins for foam ones to create this cozy display. Add jute twine, burlap ribbon, and raffia ribbon for organic accents.
No matter how you choose to decorate your pumpkins, have fun and let your creativity shine!
Here are some additional tips for decorating pumpkins:
